The laptop comes with a 16 gigabyte solid-state drive, which helps speed up start times. Google says the Chromebook can boot up in less than 10 seconds and resumes instantly from sleep mode. The laptop also comes with 2GB of memory, plus an additional 100GB of storage with Google Drive.

Battery life is estimated to be around 6.5 hours.

The new Samsung Chromebook will be available next week from the Google Play store and online retailers, and is available for preorder today from Amazon, Best Buy and other retailers.
